We all love freshly dug home grown potatoes! But if you don’t have the area or ability to grow them in the garden, then the answer is right here - small quantities of

seed potatoes to grow in easy to manage planter bags. Potatoes grown in bags are less likely to get pests and diseases and you will have your first crop by Christmas.

You can buy the potatoes on their own or kit yourself up with bags and fertiliser to complete the job. Note – always choose certified seed potatoes.
